Application filed March 3, 1892. Serial No. 423,651. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. PHEGLEY, acitizen of the United States, residing at Sedalia, in the county of Pettis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Soot- Removing Compound, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sootremovi n g co mpounds; and it has for its object to provide an improved composition of matter which when used in a stove or furnace will eifectually clean the said stove or furnace and the pipes thereof from all soot, which is deposited in large quantities in stoves burning soft or bituminous coal or Wood.

chanical admixture, and when thoroughly assembled are applied by sprinkling the completed compound over a hot bed of coals and allowing the same to remain without being disturbed until the complete removal of the soot from the stove and pipes, which will require but a comparatively short time.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patout, is-- The herein-described soot-removing compound composed of zinc or zinc ore, (blackjack,) muriateof ammonia, sulphur, and charcoal, combined in substantially the proportions specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixed my signature in 40 the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM T. PHEGLEY.
